  Special tools used to build/design parts?
 
Hello everyone, I was wondering if there are any special 3d design tools that people are using to create parts. I checked the LDraw.org pages and mostly saw viewers. Anyone? Any opinions on the best tools for a potential new designer? -Andy Lynch (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Well, interesting to me... While building the TIE Fighter set, I noticed an obvious CAD-ism in the instructions. Looking at the inset in step 10 (on page 3), the outer edges of the 4x4 radar dish are obviously composed of lines, not a smooth curve. (...) (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad)
